¶ Axiom
Index Entry
… Regarding those mathematicians working in geometrics, they don’t impress me at all. As far as I am concerned, all of their axioms are wrong. An axiom by definition defies the concepts of experimental science. These mathematicians insist that what is self-evident is not subject to further experimental demonstration; and therefore, as far as I am concerned, they are working with concepts which have no experimental foundation. I believe that about 90 per cent of all mathematics relates to games that have no valid relationship to real physical experience.
